And in Miami, Castro's insult towards Condi Rice is viewed as a "danger" [View All]

Ok, as some of you know, I'm not the biggest Castro fan on DU, simply because I believe that any president who's been in power for forty years and wears nothing but military fatigues is a dictator. But this thread is not about that.

In Miami, home of the "Cuban Mafia", as Castro likes to call the right-wing Cuban exiles, I'm viewed as a communista because I am a die-hard liberal. And on DU, I'm viewed by some people as a freeper because I don't think that Castro is the messiah, but as I said, this thread is not about that.

It's about the media spin the Miami Herald creates out of the previously discussed story where Castro called Condi a come mierda, literally a "shit-eater."

I agree with Castro 100 percent. She's not only a come mierda, she's a lying bitch. But the following is a quote that ran in the Miami Herald that has been altered for the Cuban Mafia, hence the ellipsis:

''The danger is that as he becomes more isolated because of his declining health and his age, he's becoming more cantankerous and . . . the quality of his leadership is deteriorating,'' Latell said (An CIA guy who wrote a book called "After Fidel", who must be on every Miami Herald reporters' rolodex.

Here is the story.
